  • THERMOCOUPLE AND THERMOMETER USING THAT
    Publication number: 20120120986
    Abstract: The invention has for its object the provision of a thermocouple having a fused portion that is kept against growing bulky in a small ball form, and a process for fabricating the same. To accomplish that object, the inventive thermocouple has a feature that the included butt angle (a) between two thermocouple element wires (2a) and (2b) is 90° or greater. Portions of mutual contact of two thermo-couple element wires are fused and integrated into a thermo-metric contact (16) having a feature that its diameter is at most twice as large as the diameter of each element wire (2a), (2b).

  • Bimetallic probe with tip end
    Patent number: 7692438
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a probe which can provide stable electrical conduction to an electrode of an object to be measured even when it is miniaturized. A probe 100 comprises a columnar contact part 110 which can come in contact with an electrode 10 of an object to be measured almost perpendicularly, and a base end (not shown) connected to the contact part 110, the contact part 110 comprises a base part 111 and an expansion part 111a bonded to an end of the base part 111 in a width direction, and the expansion part 111a is formed of a material having a thermal expansion coefficient higher than that of the base part 111.

  • Process for precise arrangement of micro-bodies
    Patent number: 7323227
    Abstract: A process for arranging a number of micro-bodies efficiently and precisely as one on one spot on a substrate. Charged spots are formed by a converging ion beam or the like on a substrate having an insulating property or the like, and micro-bodies having a size of 200 microns or less are attracted and stuck to the charged spots.
